From first sign-in to the last guest scanned in.

Get your access

Tell us about your organization in the get-started form. We read every request personally — you'll get a welcome email with your sign-in link, usually within a day.

Sign in at console.kanonuevents.com with the email you applied with. Google works, and so does any other address — use "Email me a sign-in link."

Create the event

Open New event & floor, then + Create a new event. Pick the type that matches what you're running:

Gala — seated tables, with a floor guests pick their table from. General admission — tickets, no seating chart. Golf tournament — foursomes, individual golfers, sponsorships and mulligans.

The moment you hit Create, you get your event code and your door check-in PIN on screen and by email, along with every link in this guide already pointed at your event.

Set your prices

On a gala or general-admission event, add your ticket types — "General admission $75", "VIP Lounge $150, limit 40" — and set how many seats exist in the room. Each type can have its own price, its own cap, and an early-bird price that expires on a date you choose.

On a golf event this page shows entry fees per player and per team, your sponsorship levels with their limits, and mulligans.

As you type, the page shows exactly what a guest pays and what your organization receives, so there are no surprises.

Design the floor — seated galas only

Drag tables into the shape of your room, name them ("Table 12", "Sponsor Row"), set a per-table price where it differs, and hold back the ones your board is keeping. You can upload a photo or PDF of the venue's floor plan and lay the tables straight on top of it.

Hit Publish and that becomes the map guests pick from. Skip this step entirely for general admission and golf.

Connect your bank

Money from ticket sales goes straight to your organization's own bank account — it never sits with us. Click Set up payouts and complete Stripe's verification; it takes about ten minutes and needs your organization's details and a bank account.

Paid events can't sell until this is done. If your event is free, skip it — free registration needs no bank connection at all.

Build your event page

This is what guests see: cover photo, the evening's schedule, venue and parking, your speakers and sponsors. Add a logo and pick your colors and type, and the page — plus your guests' confirmation emails — come out in your brand, not ours.

In a hurry? Draft with AI takes a paragraph describing your event and fills in the schedule and details for you. Nothing publishes until you read it and press the button.

Point the alerts somewhere, and bring your board in

In Organization settings, set the email that should receive every order notification. In Team & access, invite the rest of your board by email — each person signs in as themselves, so nobody shares a password.

Give people the access they actually need: owners handle the bank and the team, managers run the event, and door staff can only check guests in.

Open sales

Your sales page is linked in your created-event email and on your dashboard. Guests pick their tickets or table and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Availability updates live, and every guest gets a QR pass by email that they can add straight to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.

The service fee is added at checkout and paid by the guest — your organization keeps 100% of the ticket price.

Turn your board into a sales force

Paste your member list and every person gets a personal link. Sales through their link are credited to them automatically, and a live leaderboard shows who's actually selling — dollars raised, not just clicks. Email everyone their link straight from the page.

The leaderboard has a public link you can drop in a group text. It shows names, tickets and dollars — no email addresses, no order details.

Sponsors and your mailing list

Sponsorship levels sell on the same page as tickets — and sponsors who'd rather pay by check can request an invoice instead of paying by card. Their slot is held while the check is in the mail, and you mark it paid when it lands. Each one uploads their own logo from a private link, and it appears on your sales page's sponsor wall automatically — no chasing artwork by email.

Campaigns emails your guest list — invitations, reminders, thank-yous — in your organization's colors, with unsubscribes handled for you.

Run the door

On your event's row, click 🔑 Check-in PIN. You'll get the PIN, a link to the check-in page, and a printable door sheet — and you can email the whole thing to your door team in one click. It opens on any phone, no app needed and no sign-in.

Volunteers type the PIN once and start scanning. Each pass admits exactly one person, once: a second scan of the same code says already used, and a pass that was transferred away says so too.

Badges prints a name badge for every guest with their own QR, on standard Avery sheets.

Raise more while everyone's in the room

Run a silent auction guests bid on from their phones, a paddle raise, and straight donations — all on the same event, all going to the same bank account. Bidders register once with a card on file and get a paddle number; outbid texts go out automatically, and winners are charged when you close the auction.

Put the big screen view up on the projector: a live total, a thermometer, recent gifts, and a QR code the room can scan to give.

Close the books

Money and reconciliation, who came and who didn't, gift totals, and a donor list including lapsed donors — people who gave last year and haven't this year. Export any of it to Excel or CSV, or print the whole board packet as a PDF.

The four links you'll actually use

console.kanonuevents.com — sign in. Everything starts at your dashboard.

Your sales page and your event page — both linked from your dashboard and your created-event email.

Your check-in page — from the 🔑 Check-in PIN button on your event's row.

Running a team tournament as well? That has its own walkthrough: the Tournament Director's Guide.
